OBERFis part of a triad of websites that is designed to
collect information on all aspects of consciousness. The
main website is www.nderf.org
which studies near-death experiences (NDE). The next website is
www.adcrf.org which studies after-death
communication (ADC). OBERFstudies all other aspects of consciousness that
are not an NDE or ADC.

Soul to Soulmate
comes at a time when the world desperately needs more love.
This book tells you how to find your soulmate or if you already
have a mate, this book tells you how to transform the
relationship into one of ultimate love and respect. As with all
relationships, nothing is simple. There are three portions in
the book to understand the basis of human consciousness and
behavior, the psychology of relationships and love, and then how
to find your soulmate. The chapter that I was most excited
about was the study of soulmates. In the beginning, I didn’t
put a lot of credence to the “love at first sight” and thought
it was really “lust at first sight.” Just as research on this
generally accepted concept proved me wrong – there are many
other discoveries waiting for you to learn in Soul to Soulmates!
I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

NEWS ALERT: Evidence of the Afterlife became a New York Times bestseller
eight days after its release! There are only 16 books on
the bestseller list. This is the book that is already
changing the world! Order your
copy today!

Dr. Jeffrey Long, Jody Long,
and Paul Perry have teamed up to write this blockbuster book
that became an instant Amazon bestseller
after Dr. Long's appearance on NBC's Today Show.
You can see Dr. Long's interview by
clicking
here.

"Evidence of the Afterlife"
is by far the largest scientific study of NDE ever presented,
and is based on researching over 1300 NDEs shared with NDERF. This
book is scientific in content, yet easy and a delight to read.
The people whose stories are presented span all age groups,
races, and religious affiliations and come from all over the
world, yet the similarities in their experiences are as
awe-inspiring as they are inexplicable. Using this
treasure trove of data, Dr. Long explains how medical evidence
fails to explain these reports and why there is only one
plausible explanation—that people have survived death and
traveled to another dimension.

"Evidence of the Afterlife" is so compelling that it will either validate your existing
knowledge or it will heartily challenge your current belief system with
nine lines of irrefutable evidence of the afterlife. There are no
explanations, medical or otherwise, that one can reasonably conclude
after reading this book except that there is an afterlife!

Spiritual
Spectrum Overview,In order to fully understand
what an out of body experience (OBE) is, it must be understood as one of many
related spiritual spectrum phenomena. An OBE can be defined as an
experience in which a person seems to perceive the world from a location outside
the physical body.[1]
In this writing, I will look at the history of OBE and research findings on near
death experiences (NDEs), the most extreme of OBEs. An OBE is also
compared and contrasted with dreams, lucid dreams, astral projection, and
autoscopy. 4/21/02

Review
of the Swiss Study on OBEs,
by Jody 9/25/02 The study was published in the British journal Nature on 9/19/02. Several
media articles were published based upon this study. This article takes a
look at: 1) the study, 2) the media coverage, and 3) critical discussion of
both, the study and the media.

,
by Jody 12/23/02 First of
all I'd like to thank everyone who participated in this HUGE study. We had
124 NDErs and 75 non-NDErs who participated in the survey. Without your help, we
would never have such startling results to report on!
The healing questions
pertained to the meaning of healing, whether the participant had experienced any
emotional or healing gifts and whether the timing of these gifts was before or
after their NDE or other paranormal experience. They were also asked if
they had healed anyone, and if so to explain or give examples. Past
studies are reviewed. Present tension between medicine and alternative
healing is explored. The main finding of this study is that healing and
evidentiality of alternative healing depends on how a person views "healing."
Most of the time the way a person views healing is part of a larger belief
system rather than a compartmentalized body of knowledge about the physical
body.

Marilynn Experience3/1/2015 I woke up in the middle of the night and saw a man
standing above my husband and I. I closed my eyes just wanting him to go away
and he stayed for what seemed like several minutes. When my husband and I woke
up I told him that I know he doesn’t like to hear my ghost stories but told him
what happened anyway. I smoked back then and my husband was taking me to the
store to get some cigarettes and we saw the ambulance about a quarter block
down. We went down there and my neighbors told us that the 18 year old boy had
hung himself that night. There is no way I could have known that.Multiple life-threatening events and premonitions

Ulla B Experience2/28/2015 From
Denmark. Original in Danish, translated to English by Mette Line. I saw brief images of my life. This part
of the experience is unclear – I don’t recall the details, only the feeling I
had, that nothing really mattered, and that I shouldn’t spend time on it. The
most important thing in life, the only important thing was love for other
people, the love that encompasses us. Giving and receiving love from others, as
well as offering and wanting to offer forgiveness. Living in the moment – joy in
what we see and experience. The Light – God’s love felt warm and vibrated
throughout my “body”.

STE from a NDE-like OBE.

Eeva-Kaisa R Experience2/21/2015 From
FinlandIt was totally dark. The darkness was warm and heavy,
pressure-like. Like water around me. It was full of meaning, heavy with all the
meaning of life. I felt a presence of a huge, solid wall. I was not close to the
wall, but it was there. I knew it was the Wall between life and death. The edge
of life. It was not open to me. I was taken there to understand that there is a
limit to pain. Pain is not infinite. Pain is something that belongs to life. To
this world. When life is over, pain will be over. Behind the Wall there is no
pain.STE at time of their life when they were in great
pain due to liver failure.

Ramin
Experience2/17/2015
From Iran. Original
in Farsi, translated to English by Reza.
I
saw in dream the house that I had left a year and a half years ago, I heard a
grunting sound there, I followed the sound and I reached the room where the
sound was coming from, there was someone in a black hood with hat, about 6.5
feet tall, facing the wall away from me, I asked who are you, then it turned to
me, then I realised that it has no face, I was terrified and escaped, but it
followed me and got me from back and squeezed me in its arm, so hard that I
heard my bones crunching, then I heard a voice telling me “ If it was not for
your children, you would have died” ;I woke up
Precognitive dreams.

Seva H Experience2/15/2015 Then in less than a blink of an eye I was out of my body
and was behind it.My perspective was of
being several feet back, even though I was hovering near the kitchen wall behind
my body, which was only maybe 3 feet away.I say this because everything seemed farther away.I sensed that I was formless, but orb like, like a clear small orb, or
spark.Yet I felt huge somehow, but in a
way that is difficult to describe.I
immediately remembered that this perspective was the real me (like waking up
from a dream and remembering that you are the real you, not the dream you). I
could see the entire kitchen and everyone standing around, and I noticed my body
standing away from me and yet I felt absolutely no connection to it.I do not mean only that I had no emotional connection to it, which I
didn’t, but that I had no bodily sensations at all, nor would I be able to
control it’s movements.And my vision was
not connected to my body in any way.As a
matter of fact, I could not see what the eyes of my body were seeing.Interesting SOBE while standing in the kitchen with
others around.

Svetomir Experience2/15/14
From Serbia.
Sitting with friends, and common talking… deep in love…very painfully… i was
away from earth and could see it like small ball. I was a ball of bright white
light and near me was bigger ball like me. Communication is without words. It
told me look at earth and your feelings. i was surprised because i had no
feeling and was surprised why i am doing on earth...like child play in mud...not
worthy to think about that...after some time that big ball came and told me to
go in place with similar beings like me.. they communicate with each other about
things what they experienced on, probably earth.

Robert S Experience2/15/2015
We also asked for the free will to decide if each of us would help or hurt one
another. And we are the ones interpreting discipline for judgment and
punishment. The song tells us that we've asked for independence from our
Creator. But no Creator or parent would give up on an erring child after a
mistake or two. We don't remember because of His forgiveness.
STE at a critical time during his life.

Darian Q Experience2/10/2015
From France. Original in French, translated to
English by Marguy.Calmly I thought by myself that this
light was supernatural, and that it probably was the manifestation of a divine
presence, but that this visit after all was quite logical, as we were being told
about God. I had the impression that this revelation was a personal chance. But
I had not the time to linger on this subject, nor to try to know if the others
saw the light also. So after my deduction it seemed normal to me, not to keep
interested anymore in this, and to concentrate again on the words of the
catechist, as you would do after the arrival of a latecomer. I even noted by
myself, that having divine powers, it would beat everything having missed the
beginning of the lesson! I was wrong, this presence wasn't too late, the moment
was selected, as the lady would soon say something important.

Very in-depth spiritual experience, espesically for a 5 year old.

Sallyan G Experience2/10/2015
From the UK.
In that moment I saw that I was a mirror image of Jesus and as I looked into his
eyes I saw my Father God and I remembered everything. I ran into his arms and we
bear hugged. It was like a scene from the prodigal son. The emotion was nothing
to compare with on earth. Incredible. There were no words and o questions just
deep peace and I had no memory of the world or the body I had just left. It was
like it never existed. It was like I just woke from a dream. We walked hand in
hand and sat down by a babbling brook and dipped our bare feet in the water.
Father was skimming stones when suddenly we disappeared completely. I cannot
speak of this time I just do not know what happened. Sometime later we were back
on the banks of the brook and the Father gave me a healing wand and said this is
a symbol of what you are on earth. You are a healer like me.
Life-long atheist STE.Stunning
encounter with Jesus and God.

Mindy S Experience2/10/2015
I closed my eyes, went into a place preparing to pray.I was pushing my soul deeper, trying to reach spirit.Instantly, I was out of my body.
I felt myself rising to another dimension, somewhere above the universe, in the
navy blue sky with stars.My first
thought was, this is where I’m from.
This is my home and I knew I was home.
The next thing I heard (telepathically), was, ‘he knows every hair on your head,
Mindy, every moment matters and where it matters is in your soul, that’s what
counts.’ When he said every moment matters, immediately all pain of a lifetime
drained from the top of my head, started draining down and I was filled with
what I can only describe as the most amazing liquid love, internally.I was then shown images of the sun, the stars and the moon. The moon
started coming towards me, closer and closure. Bigger and bigger. I started to
be able to see the moons surface. I then heard the words ‘God is the sun, the
stars and the moon. Is the moon mad at you Mindy?’
Prayer experience at difficult time during life.

Stevanie B Experience2/10/2015
The reason I think this is a significant psychic event is the way that it just
BAM suddenly appeared in my life after praying for it consistently for so long.Something popped open between me and my higher self with this head
tingling thing.It is like a little
inner electric fence I have, so that I will always know when I'm crossing the
line into unkind and unloving areas of thought.This was the goal I was seeking at the time I was praying for this.
Prayer experience with remarkable outcome.

Franziska
R Experience2/5/2015 From
Switzerland. Original in German, translated to English by Marguy. Not very long time after Andreas' death,
one night I woke up for the first time on the flower meadow. I'm able to
remember, how at first I was slightly disoriented, because I couldn't
understand, why I wasn't in my bed. But then I saw Andreas, who out of the
expanse of the sky walked towards me in his white 'Jesus dress'. And then I felt
that Love was poured over me. He looked beautiful as usual, had his three-day
beard as usual.He came towards me
and smiled at me. I was standing up to welcome him with a hug. We were walking a
bit through the meadow. It was beautiful. Somewhere further back a sparkling
little brook, was meandering through the grass. This brook was the border to
heaven. On the opposite side of the meadow there was a forest.

Exceptional
ADCs and pre-birth remembrance.

Russell R Experience2/1/2015 Turning back over my right shoulder to look up, I saw a
being in a long white flowing robe standing in the air a few inches off
the ground. His hands were exposed a little above his wrists and his
robe’s hem touched the tops of his feet. A glorious, but non-blinding
white light brighter than the sun, radiated from his being, flooding the
surrounding grove. His radiance was brightest nearest his personage. His
thick hair, white and shoulder length, was neatly groomed and he wore a
full, white, neatly trimmed beard. His most striking and curious feature
to me was his eyes, which seemed to appear as if they were on fire and
yet they were not. Remember, this was how I perceived the Savior’s eye’s
as an eight year old.Baptized into the Mormon church at age 8, and
shortly after had an STE dream.
Interesting to note the strong Mormon influence in the dream, and the
difference in his encounter with Jesus and NDE descriptions of
encountering Jesus.Exceptionally
long account and fundamentalist in tone.

Richard
B Experience2/1/2015 From
Canada1/ Remember the absence of identity
2/ Remember there being no separation between myself and anything else
3/ Remember direct experience of infinity (absence of time)
4/ Remember experience of mothers heartbeat as a child in the womb would
experience it.
5/Remember the absence of thought.
6/Remember feeling totally at home in a way that my conscious life does not come
close to feeling.
7/Remember experiencing/knowing my conscious life as an illusion and the
remembered life as my real life.
8/Remember the experience of ecstasy…Probable pre-birth remembrance.

Diane
T Experiences2/1/15
In 2008; I was in a long distance relationship, dating a man who lived about 4
hours away. One night while sleeping in my bed: I felt like I visited him at his
home. We were walking through his house toward his back yard to go outside and
he told me "be careful, I just broke some glass earlier and I might not have
gotten it all cleaned up". I was barefooted, during my visit and I did step on a
small sliver of glass during the experience and stated, it's nothing I will get
it out later. When I woke up in the morning, I immediately remembered the glass
in my foot and reached down and picked a piece of glass from my foot. Then I
remembered the experience. I talked to my boyfriend later that day and he told
me that the night before he dropped a full / brand new bottle of alcohol the
night before and was upset. But I already knew cause I had the glass in my foot.
OBEs dreams with remarkable potential physical confirmation of having visited
boyfriend far away.

Sarah
S Experience2/1/15 In
the dream, most of the cattle were laying down several feet away from the water.
Some were grazing around the area. I noticed 3 newborn baby cows with our
cattle. Two of them were black and one of them was black and white. They all
looked content and healthy, including the babies.

I woke up immediately and told my husband about the dream. A short time later,
he went outside to feed the cattle some hay in our barn. One of the pregnant
cows was "missing" and my husband reported it right away.
OBE dream with vision of a newborn bull- observations confirmed morning after
dream.

Rommel Experience2/1/15 I
woke up from sleep, then walk out from our house. I went to usual places.
I roamed around watching kids playing in the market and on roads. Then I
listened to people while they where chatting. I was actually watching
basketball, when I felt like going home. I start walking back to our home.
When I arrived, I saw my body was still lying on a sofa were I slept.
OBE dream with apparent evidential observations while OBE.

Janine Experience1/21/15 Then
I felt weightless. At first I wondered what was happening, I'd never felt
anything like it. I was in the air floating, I could see my room and myself
sleeping. It dawned on me I was "flying" around my bedroom and I felt peaceful
and happy, elated in fact. Then I suddenly snapped back into my body. A few
moments later the same sensation happened again and I was again out of my body.
I thought maybe I'm in spirit, but if I'm in spirit why is my deceased daughter
not here. A few moments later I snapped back before it started again, this time
I wondered if I was lucid dreaming. I told myself if this is a dream, my beloved
daughter would be in her cot before flying across my room to view her cot, her
cot was still empty. i then tried to "escape" my surroundings and try to see if
I could travel anywhere but I snapped back again. This happened repeatedly twice
more before it stopped. It would always stop when I tried to experiment too much
or went too far.OBE
with interesting search for her deceased daughter.

Laurie
A Experience1/21/2015 We thought it was one of those "everybody has a twin somewhere" things. Except, it was his voice, and he spoke to someone we could not see. He finally turned and appeared to recognize us. Then, he sort of faded. His voice had sounded sort of broken up in transmission, almost like under watery, like a bad cellular connection. He looked and walked and behaved exactly as we had remembered him. Ex-husband had massive hemorrhagic stroke and was near death. At that time, hundreds of miles away, two people witnessed what may have been the ex-husband in an OBE.

Tracey
J Experiences12/27/14 The
first memory of an out-of-body experience was one where I looked at a spot above
the TV in the corner, I saw a flash or light, then in an instant I left my body
on the sofa and physically felt myself zip up to that same spot above the TV in
the corner. I was watching myself. It lasted for awhile, but no more than 2
minutes. I remember it being quiet & safe, but cannot remember what I saw after
the first notice of looking back at myself. When it ended, I couldn't feel the
same sensation of actually going back to my body, it seemed to just happen in a
moment.
SOBEs at times of sexual abuse at age 4.

H
& W Experience12/20/14
From the UK My
husband and I both woke up with a jolt at the same time in the night. We
couldn't believe we had the same experience. I was traveling down a black
tunnel. I wasn't frightened. I knew where I was going to meet family who had
passed on. When I thought of my young child, I decided to come back to my
body.
Interesting shared simultaneous OBE dream with husband and wife.

Roger
I Experience12/20/14 I
left my body, passed through a wall, knew I was somehow 'complete' even without
being in a material form. I felt pulled as if metal to a magnet toward a light,
and pure peace of mind, love so incredible, and a feeling that all would soon be
revealed? Then I was pulled back and the pulling back was stronger than that
pulling me away? I returned to my body in shock, my wife (then) still getting
undressed was at the end of our bed. I suggested to her that I imagined that I
left my body and went through the wall of our house. I was shocked when she said
she knew, and that if she had not willed me to return I would not have done so?
She said she was totally exhausted when she saw I had returned.
SOBE at time he was mourning his mother’s death.

Theresa
M Experience12/20/14
From the UKI
felt a complete sense of peace and euphoria was over me. I was telling myself
this was great, I had no worries or fears. I felt totally happy. Then I took
another look at the scene below me, I seemed to have no emotional connection to
my body or my husband, which seemed odd to say now. I felt impartial and
slightly disconnected to it all. I started to drift away from the scene and I
heard a lady ask me if I was ready to leave? I instantly took notice and started
to imagine what would happen to my unborn baby and my husband and I replied,
that I wasn't ready to leave that I was having a baby. With that, I was straight
back in my body.
SOBE at time of delivery- no life-threatening event at time.

Lisa
L Experience12/18/14
After taking our walk together he and I flew around in the sky playing and
dancing as if we where two little kids having the time of their lives! At this
point, he was my father. But then again, he wasn't; he was just a child to me
when we were playing. We had a blast! I can’t remember ever having this much
fun and feeling this free and full of so much love and peace! When it was time
to go, he gently lowered me back down through what seemed to be clouds. It may
seem so stereotypical, but that's what happened. He never said goodbye, but it
was more of ‘I will see you later,’ all through telepathy, of course. We never
used our mouths to speak…Next thing I knew I was back in my body.
Meditation experience with encounter with deceased father.

Jenny Experience12/18/2014 From
Australia.It
was beautiful, I felt such a sense of warmth, no pain, just 'at home', so
peaceful. Then writing appeared before my vision, it is hard to describe, like
scrolls of printing without a typewriter, rolls and rolls. And all of the
knowledge of the universe was there, and I had all of the knowledge of the
universe. The answers to questions like 'why do children have to suffer?' etc.
And I knew the answers to these questions, and my response was 'so that's why',
and I felt at peace with the answer, even though in my earthly life I wouldn't
have understood. And then I was back in my hospital bed, in the coma, hearing
things around me, but unable to communicate.STE
while in induced coma during undiagnosed severe illness.

Neha Experience12/7/14 From India
the Journey was so fast really very rapid, I couldn't make a thought about it
even, my mind was flying so rapidly in an all black space I guess it was
universe but it was just dark and black with some blue white bright and faded
flickering lines and dots, I couldn't see them clearly because I was travelling
with the speed of light and racing of my thoughts I was going in an upward
straight direction like wind flowing on randomly but toward a destination
through a definite path, and there was a doorway at the end it was kind of a
very big gate I it was burning like sun but all around was dark it was in round
shape of red and orange color I guess it was sun I think that wasn't spreading
light around it as I reached near to it
Hindu meditation experience after death of a friend.

Thomas
Y Experience12/1/14 Next
thing I know I was being pulled as if falling from the sky into this little boy
on the floor. In a snap things went dark and all of a sudden I felt a like my
body jolted hard and then I noticed I had toys in my hands and I'm wearing the
kids clothes. I was confused but deep down I think I've always known that I took
over the Child's body from that point on. I have never told anyone I know or my
family of this for some reason deep down I always felt that if I did something
bad would happen. Now as I grow older those thoughts and memory's seem to bother
me more and more.
Interesting experience of OBE over body at age 2. Then fell into body and
confused that he was in a body. Believes he entered a child’s body at that
time.

Susan D Experience12/1/2014 I
knew my body could not sustain this severe stress response much longer. I paced
into my kitchen (I was home alone) and stared out the window into the sky
praying and begging for relief. All of a sudden and out of the blue a perfect
calm descended on me and I heard these simple words clearly in my head: "IT IS
NOT TIME. JUST BE." From that time on I was fine--perfectly calm and my heart
stopped racing. I was almost happy, even. It was simple, yet amazingly
profound. I knew everything was ok. I felt that God had taken pity on my
distraught condition and loved me enough to help me.
Prayer experience at time of great personal stress.

Jennifer
N
Experience12/1/2014
From the UK.
While in the 'experience', I was clearly able to compare my normal emotions to
the emotionless heart of this man. Life didn't have much meaning with an
emotionless heart. 'Today Jennifer asked me if I was happy for her to start
seeing another man because she isn't convinced of my intentions; sure, it really
doesn't bother me because I feel nothing for her. I don't hate her but neither
do I love her.' While in the experience, my heart generally felt nothing, there
was no love or hatred. There were no emotions, my heart felt nothing. When I
woke up out of the experience, I was very angry that this man would try to lie
to me about his love while he felt nothing for me. My anger was real and I felt
pain in my heart.
Interesting psychic dream. She was courted by a man as a potential partner.
She had a dream and felt his lack of loving intentions.

Rick
L Experience12/1/2014 The
light bathed my room, everything seemed so bright and different, difficult to
express or define, I also just felt euphoric. I was in my own bedroom, so I
couldn't do more than look about my belongings and see the same items but feel
so different, so complete. I quickly but carefully dressed. I was aware I felt
very complete and happy, so I was just 'hanging on' to that feeling or mood.
The next thing I recall is walking down from my home, to the town centre. A walk
of a mile or so. I wanted to find out what the outside world looked like, and
experience it whilst I felt so totally happy, peaceful and euphoric. I was
consciously trying to stay at this emotional 'high' being very careful to move
and think slowly so as to try and perpetuate this wonderful sense of peace and
oneness Two
experiences- one with special sense after a dream. He had supernormal vision.
Second experience with apparent future awareness.
